Editor,
When I read Joe Buffaloe's column about the latest "South Park" episode, which poked fun at the 9/11 Truth Movement, I had to laugh.
There is nothing even close to conservatism being practiced anywhere in the political spectrum in this country. The Republicans Buffaloe referred to are radical extremists whose policies can in no way be considered conservative. Those who support President Bush's policies and claim to be conservatives need to look the word up in the dictionary.
The pathetic lie that America is liberal is totally ridiculous. What do people base this nonsensical theory on? Only seven major corporations control virtually all of the media in this country, and none of them are owned by liberals.
Anyone who makes fun of people who are simply seeking the truth about the greatest disaster of modern times is either stupid or trying to protect evildoers. The producers of "South Park" should be making fun of the folks who actually believe what the government says - not just about Sept. 11, 2001, but about everything. One should never trust the government about any subject under any circumstance.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the era of Vietnam and Watergate, but wake up, people. Does anyone remember how vociferously the Bush administration fought any investigation of Sept. 11, and that Bush and Vice President Cheney only agreed to testify to the 9/11 Commission if they could testify together, take no oath whatsoever and keep their testimony classified? All of this was unprecedented at the time, yet no one batted an eye. Doesn't that sound a little suspicious to anyone?

If it wasn't so horribly tragic, it would be funny. In any case, I can't bring myself to watch "South Park" anymore if this is the position it's taking. Ten years is enough. Trey Parker and Matt Stone should call it a day and just continue making really lame movies.
